Little blessings

Last week was sort of rough – I got a cold, my hand got involved in a dog fight, for which I ended up in the ER in need of meds, I got some kind of stomach bug, plus the day to day stresses of life. I’m not trying to complain, because even through it all I was comforted and at peace knowing He was ever present with me. . but it was – rough.

On Monday mornings I meet with a group of ladies at a coffee house, Eternal Grounds.  With ever order, you get a blessing – a little scroll containing a Bible verse or two.  I don’t always look at mine – not sure just why.  The one I got yesterday I just stuck in my purse, as I often do, and just forgot about it.  I met with my friends, whom I hadn't seen for a while, and then left for work.  Later, I was to meet another friend for lunch. As I pulled into the parking lot I had this prompting (a little Holy Spirit nudge) to read the blessing I’d gotten that morning . . . so I did and this is what I read:

 
I must mention the really special part is that Isa 30:15 is a life verse for me and has always been a verse that speaks to me of God’s love and acceptance - it’s kinda like a special secret we share.   There have been so many times when He has used this verse to let me know He’s with me and has me covered.

So, when life gets a little messy I know that I can just rest in Him, He is my strength and the hand that holds me and I am BLESSED!
